Connor Storrie may now be inseparable from Heated Rivalry’s Ilya Rosanov — seriously, try to picture anyone else, we’ll wait — but his journey to becoming one of 2025’s most talked-about TV breakouts is full of surprising twists. From competitive tumbling in West Texas to high-fashion modeling moments and a role he never expected to go global, Storrie’s rise is less “industry plant” and more “happy accident.” Consider this your fun-facts guide to the man behind the skates.

      2. tumbling /ˈtʌmblɪŋ/

      • 翻腾垫道（tumbling track）训练
      📌 语境解释（结合原文）

      这里的 competitive tumbling =

Fun Fact #1: Connor Storrie Was a Tumbler Before He Was a Heartthrob

Advertisement
Before the ice, the locker rooms, and the yearning glances, Connor Storrie was flipping through the air—literally.
Growing up in West Texas, Storrie was deeply immersed in tumbling, gymnastics, and competitive cheerleading. It’s a background that explains a lot, actually—his physical confidence, body awareness, and that slightly feral intensity he brings to Ilya.
Expressions
  1. tumbler n. 翻腾运动员；翻跟头的体操选手
  1. locker room n. 更衣室
  1. yearning glances 渴望的目光；带着爱慕/向往的眼神
  1. flip through the air 在空中翻转
  1. gymnastics n. 体操
  1. cheerleading n. 啦啦操
  1. physical confidence 对身体的掌控自信
  1. body awareness 身体感知力；对身体姿态与动作的敏感度
  1. feral intensity 带点“野性”的强烈气场／原始张力

Storrie has openly shared that he gravitated toward individual sports, noting that he prefers knowing that if something goes wrong, it’s on him. That independent streak feels baked into his on-screen presence: solitary, driven, emotionally guarded… and yes, devastatingly hot.
Expressions
  1. gravitate toward 自然而然地被吸引去做某事／偏向于
  1. streak n. （性格中的）一股劲儿；某种倾向
  1. feel baked into his on-screen presence 像是天生就融入了他的荧幕气质
  1. solitary adj. 孤独的；独来独往的

  1. devastatingly hot 热得“要命”；极具杀伤力的性感

Fun Fact #2: Heated Rivalry Was Supposed to Be Small (Like, Very Small)

Believe it or not, Storrie didn’t sign onto Heated Rivalry thinking it would become a global fixation for the gays.
Expressions
  1. sign onto 参与项目；签约加入
  1. a global fixation 全球范围内的迷恋对象／全民关注点
At the time, the project was positioned as a Canadian series streaming on Crave—a platform largely limited to Canada. For Storrie, that wasn’t a downside; it was the appeal. Smaller projects often allow more creative freedom, intimacy, and risk-taking, and that’s exactly what drew him in.
Expressions
  1. be positioned as 被定位为；被包装成
  1. downside n. 缺点；不利之处
  1. intimacy n. 亲密感；亲密关系的氛围
  1. risk-taking n. 冒险精神；敢于尝试
  1. draw sb. in 吸引某人加入／被吸引进去
storrie
He’s said that even if the show never traveled internationally—or even if it never fully materialized—he would’ve still been thrilled just to have the experience. Working outside the U.S., being immersed in something specific and niche, and stepping into a role so different from himself was enough.
Which makes the show’s current cultural takeover even sweeter.
Expressions
  1. materialize v. 成真；真正落地；实现
  1. niche adj./n. 小众的；细分领域的

Fun Fact #3: Connor Storrie Is Not a Hockey Guy (But You’d Never Guess)

Despite how convincingly he sells every stare, shove, and skate-adjacent moment, Connor Storrie is not a lifelong hockey player. That makes his performance even more impressive.
What Heated Rivalry proves is that Storrie’s strength isn’t technical sports realism—it’s emotional precision. He understands longing, competitiveness, restraint, and vulnerability. The hockey is just the setting; the feelings are the sport.
Expressions
  1. convincingly adv. 令人信服地；表演得很像真的一样
  1. shove v. 推；猛推
  1. skate-adjacent moment 与滑冰相关的情境/镜头（不一定是真正技术动作）
  1. longing n. 渴望；思念
  1. restraint n. 克制；自我控制
  1. vulnerability n. 脆弱感；容易受伤的一面

Fun Fact #4: Storrie’s Modeling Era Was… Androgynous Excellence

Let’s talk visuals, because the internet certainly has.
Before becoming the muscled, slightly unhinged hockey fantasy of today, Connor Storrie dipped into modeling—and those early photos are a moment. Fans have uncovered images featuring corsets, editorial poses, and high-fashion energy that lean beautifully androgynous.
Expressions
  1. visuals n. 视觉呈现；画面表现
  1. muscled adj. 肌肉感明显的
  1. unhinged adj. （口语/夸张）有点疯的；不太正常的气质
  1. dipped into (modeling) 尝试过；短暂涉足
  1. corsets n. 紧身胸衣
  1. editorial poses 时尚大片中的摆拍姿势
  1. high-fashion energy 高端时尚感；杂志大片的气场
  1. lean beautifully androgynous 呈现出漂亮的中性风气质

Young Storrie could serve delicate, angular, runway-adjacent realness just as easily as he now serves broad-shouldered athlete. The range? Immaculate.
Expressions
  1. angular adj. 轮廓分明的；线条锋利的
  1. runway-adjacent realness 近似秀场模特风的真实感气质
  1. serve broad-shouldered athlete 呈现出“宽肩运动员”那一挂的形象
  1. range n. 可塑性；风格跨度
  1. immaculate adj. 完美无瑕的；无可挑剔的

Fun Fact #5: From Twink to Twunk, Storrie Has Done It All

If there’s one thing the Storrie fandom agrees on, it’s this: the man does not miss.
Earlier photos show a slimmer, softer, more ethereal version of Connor—the kind of twink who looks like he belongs in an avant-garde fashion spread. Heated Rivalry, meanwhile, introduces us to a thicker, sturdier, more athletic build that screams “locker room tension.”
Expressions
  1. twink n. （LGBTQ+语境）清瘦、少年感的男生类型
  1. twunk n. 介于 twink 和 hunk 之间，偏结实的男生类型
  1. slimmer adj. 更瘦的
  1. avant-garde adj. 前卫的；先锋派的
  1. sturdy adj. 结实的；健壮的
storrie
And yet, somehow, both versions work. Twink? Twunk? Somewhere in between? Connor makes a compelling case for all of it.

Fun Fact #6: The Secret Sauce Is Sincerity

What truly makes Connor stand out isn’t just the aesthetics or the breakout success—it’s the sincerity. He didn’t chase fame; he chased the work. He didn’t expect viral obsession; he embraced the process.
And now? He’s at the center of one of the most beloved queer TV moments of the year.
Expressions
  1. viral obsession 病毒式传播的狂热关注
storrie
So yes, Heated Rivalry Episode 5 may be the highest-rated TV episode of 2025—but Connor’s journey to get there is just as compelling. From West Texas tumbling mats to international queer icon status, it’s safe to say: this is only the beginning.
And frankly? We can’t wait to see what he does next.
Expressions
  1. tumbling mats n. 翻腾训练垫／体操垫
  1. compelling adj. 引人入胜的；非常有吸引力的
  1. queer icon status 酷儿文化偶像地位
